Movie Reviews

• what's missing - from the entire movie - is that magical spark that can turn a film into a franchise

  by Elizabeth Weitzman [New York Daily News ]

• this one has its upsides: snappy banter, Bukowski readings, and Irons happily channeling the spirit of the late, great Agnes Moorehead from "Bewitched." He's Endora-ble

  by Ty Burr [Boston Globe ]

• the evocative locations, complete with a creepy old manor house, sleepy bayous and trees covered in Spanish moss, are ideal for this spooky-funny story

  by Claudia Puig [USA Today ]

• the dark Caster/light Caster choice/struggle didn't exactly bore me but it's so familiar that it seems to be running on autopilot

  by James Berardinelli [ReelViews ]

• Richard LaGravenese has adapted expertly other books into effective romantic melodramas, and you cannot blame the writing or dialogue, which are fluent and occasionally engaging

  Review rate : C+ by Emanuel Levy [EmanuelLevy.Com ]

• look and feel like so many other films of its type: a concoction that makes highly calculated use of fantasy, fates, taboos, young love

  by Todd McCarthy [Hollywood Reporter ]

• its primness aside, the movie is terrific fun and much more affecting than Twilight or Supernatural

  by Alan Scherstuhl [Village Voice ]

• it's Twilight with the sexes reversed

  Review rate : B- by Owen Gleiberman [Entertainment Weekly ]

• isn't pure camp-there's some real emotion in there. But not enough to hit you on a primal level

  by David Edelstein [NY Magazine ]

• a script so witty

  by Roger Moore [Movie Nation ]

• a feverishly enjoyable guilty pleasure

  by Peter Debruge [Variety ]
• Reviewed by Manohla Dargis [New York Times ]
